Excessive Error Rate Threshold. Sets the error rate threshold that determines if an
Excessive Error Rate (EER) condition is declared. This rate is determined by the ratio of
the number of CRC6 errors to the total number of bits received over a set period of time.
Select from the following:
10E-4 – EER is declared if more than 1,535 CRC6 errors are detected within
10 seconds (factory default).
10E-5 – EER is declared if more than 921 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.
10E-6 – EER is declared if more than 92 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.
10E-7 – EER is declared if more than 9 CRC6 errors are detected within 60 seconds.
10E-8 – EER is declared if more than 41 CRC6 errors are detected in three 15-minute
intervals.
10E-9 – EER is declared if more than 4 CRC6 errors are detected in three 15-minute
intervals.
AlrmRelay: Disab
Next Enab Disab Prev
Alarm Relay. Specifies whether an alarm condition for this circuit card activates the
shared alarm relay on the 3000 Series Carrier. The alarm deactivates if the condition(s)
causing it is corrected. An Alarm Cut-Off issued from the SDCP (or PC Emulation
program) for a particular carrier-mounted DSU/CSU also deactivates the alarm. The
carrier-mounted DSU/CSU does not reactivate the alarm relay until all alarm conditions
for the unit are cleared.
The following alarm conditions activate the alarm relay if this configuration option is
enabled:
Excessive Error Rate (EER) detected at the network interface.
Continuous Loss of Signal (LOS) or Out of Frame (OOF) at the network interface.
Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) received at the network interface.
Yellow alarm signal received at the network interface.
